At the food section on B1F of Shinjuku Takashimaya, there is a "Taimeiken" with an eat-in corner where you can mainly enjoy omurice. I ordered the omuhayashi (1,405 yen). The egg was fluffy and the demi-glace sauce was delicious, but the portion was small. Money spent: 1,405 yen Rating: 3 points 5 points: Definitely want to visit again! 4 points: Would like to revisit if given the chance! 3 points: It's okay to revisit. 2 points: Once is enough. 1 point: No need to go.

The cheese omelette rice was quickly served with demi-glace sauce. The omelette texture was not very smooth or fine, and it seemed like they didn't use a lot of butter. The sauce lacked a bit of richness, but the bitterness was mild. The cheese was gooey. The lumps I felt were from the bacon. The ketchup rice wasn't very appealing. It wasn't mushy, but it lacked texture like onions. The edamame soup had a coating sensation on the tongue, but it was sweet and delicious in taste. Even though it was a pre-payment system, the soup didn't come out even after eating the omelette rice, and when I asked, it seemed like they had completely forgotten and rushed to bring it out. It might be a good idea to be careful when ordering various items. I felt uneasy sensing people behind me looking at the menu. Well, it's probably because it's an eat-in space inside a deli section. I only had water to drink. The cheese omelette rice alone cost 1304 yen, which felt a bit overpriced. It was tasty though.

Located in the basement floor of Takashimaya directly connected to Shinjuku Station and Shinjuku Sanchome Station. When I visited around 4 pm on a weekday, there was only one other customer in the small seating area of about 5 seats. I have been coming here for years, and the Hayashi rice is just so delicious. I love it so much that I can't bring myself to try anything else, haha. The flavor is rich and addictive. It's usually not crowded, making it a great spot for a quick meal. I always make sure to stop by RF1 on my way out to grab some vegetable juice. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around 1:15 pm on a weekday and had to wait in line, so I sat on a chair and waited. There are only about 5 seats, so it's mostly a waiting style. You can choose between tomato sauce or demi-glace sauce for the omurice. I chose demi-glace. The egg on the omurice was fluffy and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I have a reservation for the delivery of Demachi Futaba's bean mochi at Shinjuku Takashimaya, with pick-up starting at 4:30 pm. I usually would have been home much earlier for my usual dessert activities, but I had to wait around. Feeling a bit hungry, I decided to eat in at Taimeiken in the basement. I remember having Taimeiken a long time ago in Nihonbashi during my time in Fukuoka. I ordered the following: - Omelette rice & domestic coarse-ground hamburger: 1,701 yen - Coleslaw: 51 yen - Chilled edamame cream soup: 264 yen I thought I was just a little hungry, but ended up ordering a hearty meal. The coleslaw for 50 yen is still on the menu. The open space doesn't allow for a leisurely meal, but it's good for a quick bite. It was delicious.

Prepared food sales + eat-in available, with a cleverly designed small space for cooking area, where you can enjoy dishes like omurice and curry. You can add coleslaw and borscht for an additional 51 yen each to your meal. This time, I ordered the seasonal menu which was omurice with 2 pieces of oyster fry for 1,509 yen, and added a coleslaw salad for 51 yen. The omurice is cooked upon order, and they serve the coleslaw first, which has a nice acidity and crunchiness. It's quite delicious, but if you want seconds, you might need to buy it from the prepared food section as they may not offer refills. Due to space constraints, the quality may not be outstanding, but it's satisfactory. The tartar sauce for the oyster fry was surprisingly tasty. Overall, there are some fine details that make it a typical Taimenken experience. Many people may discover this place through this review and decide to visit the actual store.

I had a set meal of hamburger and omelette. You can choose between demi-glace or ketchup for the omelette sauce. I noticed halfway through the meal that for an additional 50 yen, you could add coleslaw and borscht. I definitely want to order them next time I visit.

☆Recommended Points☆ ①You can easily enjoy the famous omurice from "Taimeiken" in the eat-in corner. ②Very affordable for a meal in a department store. [Recommended Usage Scene] Eating alone or with friends. [Menu] "Omurice (1,100 yen)" "Borscht (51 yen)" You can choose between ketchup or demi-glace for the omurice. This time, I ordered the classic ketchup. It was served in just 5 minutes. Considering there are only 5 seats available, the service was impressive. The visual presentation was a classic ketchup omurice. The omelette was slightly runny on the inside, with a smooth texture. The rice was moist, slightly firm ketchup rice. The only ingredient was bacon, keeping it simple. The flavors were not too strong, despite the generous amount of ketchup. The portion size was decent for the price of 1,100 yen. I also ordered the borscht as a side dish for just 51 yen. It exceeded my expectations with a good amount of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions, and cabbage in a beef consomme flavor. It was surprisingly delicious. I recommend trying the coleslaw for 51 yen as well. [Summary] Located in the food section on the B1 floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya, "Taimeiken" has a small eat-in area. The menu mainly consists of omurice variations. Despite having only 5 seats, the kitchen space is well-maintained, and you can enjoy freshly made omurice. While the portion size may be a bit small, the price of 1,100 yen for Taimeiken's omurice in a department store is quite reasonable. It's worth a visit while shopping.

This time, I visited the Western-style restaurant "Taimeiken" on the B1F of Shinjuku Takashimaya. This place is famous for its ultimate fluffy omurice. I couldn't wait to try it out! The omurice is so fluffy and delicious that it's addictive! The restaurant is located next to the deli section in the department store, with about 5 counter seats available for dining in. It might be a bit crowded, but it's nice to be able to watch the omurice being made up close. The menu offers various options, but I went with the classic omurice. Look at this omurice! The egg is cooked to a half-soft, fluffy perfection. I chose the ketchup seasoning, so it has the classic taste, but the egg is just so delicious. I've never had omurice this fluffy before! I highly recommend everyone to try this fluffy omurice for themselves.

It had been a long time since I last went to Taimeiken Delica. While I occasionally eat omurice, I often find it unsatisfactory. The hamburg steak is made with good quality meat, but it's hard to find one that oozes with juice. However, when it comes to Taimeiken's omurice and hamburg steak plate, I can say that I enjoyed eating them. The prices are reasonable for a deli, which is convenient. The buttery aroma, fine-textured eggs, and classic ketchup (generous portion) make me feel very happy.

The other day, when I visited the basement of Shinjuku Takashimaya after a long time, I discovered a place that caught my interest. I used to go to a Taiyo-ken in the station building nearby, but it closed down. Because of that, I visited the place after a long time. It's not really a restaurant, but a corner in the deli section of the department store basement, so it's not very relaxing... haha. I ordered omurice and borscht. The borscht was only 50 yen, which was quite reasonable. The omurice was rolled up, but when you cut it with a spoon, the inside was creamy. I forgot to take a photo of the inside because I was hungry. The demi-glace sauce was delicious. They gave me all the remaining borscht in the pot. It was a lot of food, but I was really happy about it. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal. Items eaten: Omurice 1100 yen, Borscht 50 yen

At the Depachika (basement food floor) of Shinjuku Takashimaya, there is a restaurant called Taimeiken which also has seating for dining in, about 5 seats. Here, you can enjoy dishes like omurice, hayashi rice, and curry rice. I was thinking about where to have a late lunch, as many places had already finished serving lunch. I considered going to the upper floor restaurant area, but then I thought, "Omurice sounds good!" and decided to have lunch here instead. I ordered the omurice with crab cream croquette. You can choose between ketchup or demi-glace sauce for the omurice, and I chose demi-glace sauce. The dish had a sophisticated presentation. The size and the doneness of the egg were just right, and it came with a side salad which was nice. The crab cream croquette was as expected, with a crab claw included. Despite the area being quite busy with foot traffic, I think it was a satisfying omurice experience. Thank you for the meal.

I knew there was a shop here, but I always passed by. Today, I decided to try it out. It had been 30 years since I last visited a Taimeiken shop in Nihonbashi. I was surprised. The food was amazing after so long! By the way, the chef's nameplate today started with an "M". If he's there, I'll definitely come back. See you again soon!

Just a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Station South Exit, you'll find Taimeiken Delica, where you can enjoy an omelette rice set with borscht and coleslaw for 1201 yen. Located on the first basement floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya's food market, this eat-in spot has limited seating, with only 3 seats available due to social distancing measures. Despite not bringing an umbrella, I decided to stop by after work to avoid getting wet in the heavy rain on my way back to the station through Takashimaya. It had been over a year since my last visit, but the service was quick, and my meal arrived in just 5 minutes. The omelette rice had a demi-glace sauce, making the ketchup rice a bit mild in flavor with small pieces of ham and onions as toppings. The omelette was fluffy and had a buttery taste, though not the runny type. The delicious demi-glace sauce added a nice touch. The borscht and coleslaw, both priced at 51 yen each, were also tasty with plenty of vegetables. Another satisfying omelette rice meal at Taimeiken - thank you!

It was past lunchtime, so I decided to grab a quick meal at the Takashimaya B1 food hall. I ordered the limited-time omurice and Hiroshima-grown oyster fry with borscht. I also added the borscht for an extra 51 yen. The total came to 1425 yen. The borscht was served in 5 to 6 minutes, and while it tasted good, it didn't look very appealing. I felt that adding a bit more broth could have made a big difference. The main dish took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. Strangely, the bill came between the borscht and the main dish, and the cashier seemed unfriendly. When I asked if it was time to pay, she reluctantly confirmed. The dining area was also a bit crowded, so it might be best to avoid it, especially during this time. The oyster fry and chicken rice seemed pre-made, with only the egg on top being freshly cooked. The egg was tasty, but I couldn't finish the rest. Overall, the service was lacking, and I left the restaurant feeling disappointed. It seemed like the restaurant was just expensive for its name.

I had lunch at the deli corner of Takashimaya in Shinjuku and ordered the three kinds of mushroom omelette rice. It was delicious. However, since it was an eat-in corner, it was not a very relaxing place to eat. The price seemed a bit high, as it was not much different from other stores. I would recommend it to those who want to quickly have lunch at Takashimaya.

The king of Western cuisine (?) Taimeiken's takeout shop specializing in deli items is located in Shinjuku Takashimaya. I visited around 7 pm on a weekday and they were selling leftover items at 30% off. I realized I had never tried their croquette before, so I decided to buy one for 249 yen. The price is high, but the shape and color of the frying were good. The texture of the meat was solid and the umami flavor of the meat was well expressed. The seasoning is unique and gives a sense of a true Western-style restaurant.

I felt like eating the omurice from Taimeiken after a long time, so I visited the restaurant. They had installed acrylic dividers on the counter to prevent the spread of COVID-19, reducing the seating capacity from 5 to 4. It may get crowded during peak hours. I ordered the omurice (1100 yen) with tomato ketchup. The ketchup had a slight acidity that paired well with the egg and ketchup rice. I also added borscht soup and coleslaw salad for 51 yen each. They were both full of vegetables and very satisfying. The meal was delicious as always, and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal!

At this time of year, the department store basement is like a fun and familiar theme park. It stirs up your appetite and makes you think about what to eat and what to buy. It's amazing to see how many delicious things are out there, and it gives you a boost of energy. Today, I decided to visit Takashimaya in Shinjuku. As I was about to go down to the basement floor, I found myself stopping near the escalator entrance. Lately, I've been stopping at street corners more often. I stand still, look up at the sky, look down at my feet, take a deep breath, and then start walking slowly. Sometimes tears well up and fall. Because I still feel lonely. My emotions are still tender. At times like this, I turn to delicious food. In Takashimaya's basement, there are several food sections with attached eateries. My favorite is the omurice place by Taimeiken. Tanaka-san was good at making omurice. But the beauty and taste of the omurice at this place, it's amazing how professional their work is, right? Sometimes I think that. Especially when the chef with a plump figure is standing there, saying, "Would you like to try it?" The person who prepares the food can really change the taste of the dish. Today, it was that person. I ordered the omurice with menchi-katsu combination. They said the seasonal soup was a cold edamame soup, so I also ordered that as a set. I enjoyed the crunchy texture of the edamame beans in the soup, and just as I was almost done drinking it, the main dish arrived. The fluffy omelette was exactly like an omelette should be. It was fluffy and airy, and when I inserted a spoon, it cut through smoothly. The omelette was thick compared to the amount of ketchup rice, and when I put it in my mouth, it crumbled delicately. The menchi-katsu, shaped like a bale, was juicy. The demiglace sauce and ketchup from the omurice mixed together, creating a new flavor in my mouth. It was delicious.

I visited the restaurant during lunchtime on a holiday, right after it opened. I was the first customer, of course. I ordered the set menu of Omurice and Crab Cream Croquette for 1,641 yen (tax included), and also a Borscht soup for 51 yen (tax included). The food arrived in about 10 minutes. The Omurice looked delicious with its creamy eggs. I started with the salad which had a refreshing and tangy dressing. The Crab Cream Croquette had a crispy exterior and a creamy interior, and the tartar sauce was generous. The Omurice had plenty of creamy eggs and a rich Hayashi sauce. The rice inside was flavorful and the portion was satisfying. The Borscht soup had a mild flavor with a hint of acidity, which complemented the meal well. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and finished everything.
